2. Review of Last Lecture How Spiral Model Works? Strengths and weakness of Spiral model? What are the steps in RAD? Pros and cons of RAD? When Spiral and RAD are used?

3. Agile Development Model

4. Manifesto Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan Responding to change over following a plan

5. Agile View of Process Agile software engineering combines a philosophy and a set of development guidelines. The philosophy encourages customer satisfaction and early incremental delivery of software, small, highly motivated teams and overall development simplicity. Development guidelines stress delivery over the analysis, design and active and continuous communication between developers and customers.

6. What is Agility? Effective (rapid and adaptive) response to change Effective communication among all stakeholders Drawing the customer onto the team Organizing a team so that it is in control of the work performed

7. Agile Development Product-Centric Deliverables Very Short Iterations Eat Your Own Dog food

8. Agile Development Competitive Very High Risk/Low Information A Product is complete if it “achieves its business objective's) on or before the desired date”

9. Supporting Agile Sentences Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and frequent delivery of valuable software. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference for the shorter time scale. Working software/product is the primary measure of progress.

10. Supporting Agile Sentences Cont’d Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage. Business people and developers work together daily throughout the project. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

11. An Agile Process Is driven by customer descriptions of what is required (scenarios) Recognizes that plans are short-lived Develops software iteratively with a heavy emphasis on construction activities Delivers multiple ‘software increments’ Adapts as changes occur

12. Extreme Programming (XP) The most widely used agile process, originally proposed by Kent Beck XP Planning Begins with the creation of “user stories” Agile team assesses each story and assigns a cost Stories are grouped to for a deliverable increment A commitment is made on delivery date After the first increment “project velocity” is used to help define subsequent delivery dates for other increments

13. Extreme Programming (XP) XP Design Follows the KIS principle For difficult design problems, suggests the creation of “spike solutions”—a design prototype Encourages “refactoring”—an iterative refinement of the internal program design XP Coding Recommends the construction of a unit test for a store before coding commences Encourages “pair programming” XP Testing All unit tests are executed daily “Acceptance tests” are defined by the customer and executed to assess customer visible functionality
